“Very good. Kasey came , did exactly what I needed her to do and got the job done. With an elderly dog at home it’s not always an easy road anymore; it’s a difficult situation to handle at times. Glad I could count on her.”
About: I am a lifelong dog owner. I have experience walking and training dogs. I love dogs and learning about all the different breeds. As a pet parent I understand about keeping pets on s the daily schedule I work from home and my schedule is flexible which allows me to take care of my dogs. The dogs are by my side most of the entire day I get down to the dogs level and try to learn about their individual personality and breed of the dog that they are. I am always learning about dog behaviors.
“We are grateful for the exceptional care Brittany gave our senior cat Gus! She’s an excellent communicator, comes with years of experience, and was more than accommodating to last minute requests. What more could you ask for?”
“Karena was amazing! She was flexible with scheduling, sent lots of photos, and it was really reassuring having her look after our pets. It was our first time leaving them and we will definitely be using Karen's services again!”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping their space clean, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel right at home. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I would give my own! I love making sure animals feel safe loved and comfortable. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and understand how important it is to keep pets on their usual routines while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I want every pet to feel comfortable and safe in their own environment while their owner is away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their spaces clean, and make sure they always have fresh water. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to keep owners informed. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved and well cared for, just like I would care for my own dog.
“Kelly was very reliable and resourceful. She followed our instructions to the letter, including the locking of the back deck slider--not easy to do. Our cats were content and even the skittish cat who avoids everyone, came out to say "Hi" to Kelly when she came in--that says so much. I would indeed recommend Kelly and Rover for cat and dog home services when you need to be away from home.”
“Kimmie was excellent. She took such good care of our kitties that even our shy one was comfortable around her. Everything was clean and taken care of when we got back home.”
“Mario was great to work with. He sent plenty of pics and updates daily. Lottie was well taken care of. Mario even collected eggs from our chickens. Was very satisfied with Mario and will be a future return customer.”
“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”
About: I love animals ! We have three rescues at home, and this gives me an opportunity to love other animals too! I have been a certified volunteer dog walker at a local shelter. Our dogs are a member of our family , and I know yours are as well. I understand how hard it is to leave our furry children, that's why I try to care for your dog as you would. I am in good physical health for walks and playtime. I am a resident of the Hudson Valley for over 30 years and raised a family here. I am mature, dependable and honest. I would love the opportunity to care for your precious pet if you chose me. I volunteer 2 days a week for 3 hours a day at a local shelter, but am available the rest of the time for your pet. My three dogs have a fenced in yard. With your pet, I will walk or take out in your yard, lots of cuddling too, whatever your pet is used to. Cats will have clean litter box, and cuddling.
About: 25-year-old sitter with 10 years of experience. Lifelong connection to cats and dogs of all sizes (large and small breeds). I specialize in active dog adventures, precise cat routines, and giving pet parents complete peace of mind. Your fur baby's happiness and safety is my priority! While I work full-time during weekdays, my evenings and weekends are dedicated entirely to animals! My schedule is ideal for parents who need reliable after-hours care or weekend getaway coverage.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fishkill
Samantha was absolutely wonderful at caring for my precious Ellie. She was punctual, responsible, and very attentive. This was my first time having someone other than family take care of Ellie, and I was a bit nervous. However, based on my experience with Samantha, all my concerns were alleviated. I would certainly recommend her without hesitation.
It's a leap of faith to try a new pet sitter. I really liked Zach when we met for the meet and greet, so I booked him and hoped for the best. Turns out, I worried for nothing. He arrived on time, followed all directions and was very attentive to Sam. He did a great job and I will definitely book him again.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fishkill is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
